Man that $17 million bonus we paid abney could really come in handy right now.

Sounds like you are jealous

 

[FreedomOne]

I would gladly take some time off right now.

I'm jealous. I'd take 1 percent of that.

Everyone speaking of paid leave but no one speaking the fact of layoffs are coming View attachment 287186

Denis T??? LOL, that guy is clueless, people will keep buying either with credit or stimulus, I’ll have 40 in tonight, they are begging drivers to work vacation. Denis T, LMAO

 

[What did I do]

Will layoffs affect progression?

Layoffs do not affect progression. Your seniority date sticks with you your entire career.

Thank you. I have until July for top rate. I was getting worried.

None of my shippers have shut down. Did he say why he expects business to slump?

We are down close to 1 trailer of pick up volume. Our mall closed and that accounts for 600-1000 pick up pieces a day. All 3 of my dental offices are closed and none of them are ordering anything. Today was the last day that staff will be in the school buildings. Until they reopen, just custodians and 1 admin in the office. I suspect that pipeline will dry up by Tuesday.

Amazon seems to be picking up the slack. Same with office supply companies. People found out that office supply places still have toilet paper. I have been delivering cases of it.

I'll take that bet.

Not how it works.
Low seniority will be laid off first.
If I was working I wouldn't retire to help keep younger drivers working.

Considering who the pandemic affects the most, it'd be more logical to keep the youngest guys out there. But you're right, that's just not how it works, unfortunately.

If I were anywhere close to retirement, you'd better believe I'd be gone.

I have a few dental offices, they are tapering due to not seeing patients, but still getting stuff. Lots of other medical clinics. The only one freaking out and closing is the proctology clinic. The others are still going. My pick up volume has actually been going up. My stop count is only going down because the piece count is through the roof.

Seems to me our center is much busier than normal for this time of year. Usually we have ten guys sitting in the bench from February through May, but we've only had a couple weeks where a handful of people have been laid off.

We have the same # of routes in now that we did in the 3rd week of January. No one is laid off in my building this week.

we are down probably 10% of our pre Corona routes. Legit getting worried about what this means for the future

Is that 10% based off of what you have kept track of, or being told?

kept track of. its fluctuating a lot right now, but thats an average over the last 2 weeks.

 

[Sissy Brown Short Shorts]

Anyone who has a 401k and is planning on using it to retire may not be financially sound anymore.

I’m down 24%

 

[scratch]

We have been heavy as hell and running extra routes. My residential area is condensed like Peak Season. Preload is finished early everyday but they still start us fifteen minutes later. Some of the commercial stops are down as expected.
